I (f18) have lost ~35 lbs over the past year. I am trying to maintain my weight, which honestly has been the most challenging part for me. I am someone who loves the act of eating. I always have, I don’t suffer from emotional eating, I just like eating. I used to eat past fullness just because the food was good. Today, my mom cooked one of my favorite dishes for the first time in months: red lentils and white rice. Before I began my weight loss journey, I would have at least two plates of this. But today when I was about to eat my dinner, I had to remind myself that one normal-sized plate of this is enough for me. This part of weight loss has been soooo incredibly difficult. Accepting the fact that having one portion should be enough. Lately, I have been missing the times when I ate whatever I wanted whenever I felt like it without worrying about goals. Even though I would always overeat and then cry over being unhappy with my body. I am trying to come to terms with the fact that I can’t repeat my old habits. Now, I have to be wary of what I am eating, maintaining a balance between enjoying what I eat and eating in moderation because moderation is what I struggle with. Some days are easier than others, but some days are very difficult. Do any other people relate to this? I would love some ways you adapted to your new lifestyle and mindset.
